Ever since his father died, Frederic [Jean-Loup Philippe] has been unable to rememberanything about his childhood, even though his mother has told him allabout it. One night, while at a party, Frederic notices a photograph ofsome castle ruins near a beach. They look familiar to him, and he recallsan incident that happened 20 years ago, when he was 12. He was lost. Itwas getting dark, and he went to the castle where he was invited in by ayoung girl [Annie Briand] dressed all in white. He spent the night there and becameinfatuated with her. To thank her for her kindness, Frederic placed a toyon her steps before he left to go home.
When Frederic tells his mother [Natalie Perrey] about the memory, she denies that itever happened, so Frederic pays a visit to the photographer to find outwhere the photo was taken. The photographer tells him that she's been paidnot to reveal the location but later relents and tells him to meet her atmidnight at the aquarium and she will tell him then. To kill time,Frederic goes to the cinema. As he watches the movie, he notices the girlin white standing in the doorway. He follows her outside. She leads himinto a cemetery and down into a crypt where he finds four coffins. Heopens one of the coffins to find several bats inside.

She leads him toa room in an old abandoned building. When he asks her to identify the toythat he left with her 20 years ago, she cannot, confirming Frederic'ssuspicion that she is working for the same people that paid thephotographer to keep quiet.
